the RAV4 continues to outsell it. However, the 024 Honda CR-V has two wins to consider.

The first area where the 2024 Honda CR-V outperforms the 024 Toyota RAV4 is in comfort.

Edmunds rated the CR-V 8.0 out of 10 for comfort, while the RAV4 received a 7.5.

Both SUVs offer a comfortable ride and rapidly attenuate impacts, preventing bouncing about.

However, the RAV4 is somewhat stiffer. Also, the RAV4 has flat seats, but the CR-V seats are soft and supportive.

[{"selector":"#anim-6c6e4f3f-739e-47c7-abc3-be304b2dfec3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-28.90624987200394%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}]

The RAV4's passenger seat lacks adjustability controls, while the CR-V still does not have ventilated seats.

Also, the CR-V is quieter on the highway, although the hybrid engine may produce a loud wheeze at times.

The CR-V also outperforms the RAV4 in terms of cargo capacity.

The CR-V has 39.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the second row and up to 76.5 cubic feet overall.
